However, resistant is futile...managed to get the GW-5000 2 months ago.

Coincidentally, I'm wearing a 5000 series also. I seldom wear 5000 series.

Not the legendary GW-5000 you have but close enough I guess?


DW-5030C-1JR

Yup, closed enough lokgotz. it's near similar to the Titanium 5k square, GW-T5030C-1JR.

walao weh so legend

Wow! That's hell of money! Salute u taiko...

bro last time do you play Knight Online?

My old collection is better. Really. While the value of my current collection is higher, the collectability of my old collection is better.

Nope. I don't know what is that...

I've a quick question about servicing and repairs before I go all the way to Marco Corporation.

I've 2 G-shock watches bought a long time ago which need service and repair, but I've misplaced my warranty cards.

Will they (Marco Corp) service my watches if I'm unable to provide them with the warranty cards ?

Yes. But you might have to pay since 1) You bought long time ago, which means warranty is no longer valid, 2) You misplaced warranty card.

Just curious, what servicing and repairs do you need?

Nice piece! Hopefully can get one by the end of this month.

On model 1. Time shows but when I press the Light, display goes off and will come back after slight pause. The pause is the same duration as when the Light gets turned on.

On model 2. I think it only needs a change of battery. I've not worn it for awhile now, hence thought of getting all done in 1 shot.

Model 1 - Battery. Just replace the battery and you're good to go.

If it's just a replacement of batteries and if it's a normal model, i.e. 4 screws holding the case back, you can even do it yourself. Really easy.

Different model different battery type right?

Yes. Most models use CR2016 and CR2025 (more use CR2016 though). However, the Tough Solar models, i.e. rechargeable ones, uses rechargeable ML2020 or ML2016. These rechargeable batteries are close to impossible to buy off the shelves. Marco stocks them though but I'm not sure if you can buy the batteries from them without sending in a watch for battery replacement.

There are some models which uses different type of batteries too, like the Wademan uses not one but two smaller SR927W batteries.

Truth be told for Model 1, I had the battery replaced by an old uncle (even had problems seeing) earlier. Then after it was replaced, I just noticed this problem with the light button and the display going blank.

Though thanks for the suggestion. Now to find where can I get the battery replacement.
